he found his wife unconscious, his three chill
dren dead, and Luther Wright, friend from
Prince William County, dead: The fourper-
sons had been killed by single bolt. Mr..
Wright stopped at Pearson's house
for shelter in the midst of one of
the worst of the storms. He tied his
horse to tree directly in front 'of the door.
The fury Of the storm made the animal rest
less, and Wright, who had been playing with
the children, in the front room went to the
door to quiet the horse The instant he
opened the door, there was terrific flash.
He fell dead across the Threshold. The
electric bolt passed through the house,
killing the three children as they played on
the floor, and tearing hole through the wall
Mrs. Pearson, who was in the kitchen, was
struck down by the shock, and several other
persons about the premises were stunned.
